Die Trump-Regierung zahlt dem deutschen Energiekonzern RWE 1,22 Milliarden Dollar dafür, dass er seine Offshore-Windprojekte vor New York, Kalifornien und Louisiana aufgibt. Bereits der fünfte solche Deal in diesem Jahr, berichtet Brad Plumer in der NYT. Das Geld fließt fast eins zu eins in neue Gasturbinen und ein LNG-Projekt.

"Building nuclear for the first time in Australia would take longer and cost more than building offshore wind for the first time in Australia, according to modelling by Australia’s premier science agency that once again rules out nuclear power from any and all cost-efficient scenarios for a net zero grid."

I get it, but have to say: concentrated energy infrastructure -- NPPs, TPPs, large wind and solar farms, fuel tank farms, long cables and transmission lines, pipelines, and large transformer stations -- have all been shown to be priority targets of invaders.

Infrastructure designed from the start as *distributed* -- neighborhood solar or geothermal, for example, especially with buried lines -- is successful defense from the get-go and so reduces the need for some of that weapons budget -- at least for defensive purposes. >>

Lithuania’s first offshore wind farm judged not viable without state support

Lithuania’s energy minister said the country’s first offshore wind project is not commercially viable under current market conditions without state funding, a key signal for Baltic energy-infrastructure economics.

Yes it's hot in Europe, unusually hot. But unexpectedly hot? That's a no. I studied environmental science back in the 1990s and scientists then were predicting that Europe would regularly have heatwaves in the 35-40C range by the 2020s.

We didn't stop driving petrol cars, install aircon in public buildings or stop flying away for glamorous holidays - myself included. And yet we complain. Now I help to build windfarms, built of steel and plastics that all use fossil fuels, to harness something free and turn it into electricity. It feels like baby steps whilst the house burns around me :elmo_fire:

I'm flying to Madrid on Monday, then Mallorca, then back to Glasgow via Heathrow, all powered by kerosine. At least I'm taking a bus to the airport :earth_americas:
